FADEC Engineer – Digital Engine Control

Were Hiring: FADEC Engineer Digital Engine Control

Full time Core team

LAT Aerospace Gas Turbine Engines

At LAT Aerospace were building Indias first clean-sheet hybrid-electric STOL aircraft and a next-generation family of gas-turbine engines. Were looking for a FADEC Systems Engineer who can design and implement the full-authority digital engine control system for our GTE program including sensing control logic and embedded software for GTE actuation protection and safety architecture. You will own the digital brain of the engine. This role directly influences safety performance reliability and certifiability of the entire propulsion system.

What youll do

Sensing & Signal Processing:

• Integrate engine sensors (temperature pressure vibration speed).

• Build clean signal chains: filtering ADC paths isolation.

Controls & Algorithms:

• Implement fuel/ignition/start logic transient control and protection loops.

• Build state-machine behaviour for all engine phases.

Actuation & Safety:

• Control fuel pumps/meters ignition hardware solenoids/servo drivers.

• Implement safety interlocks watchdogs redundancy.

Embedded Software:

• Develop real-time ECU/FADEC firmware on DSP/ARM.

• Bonus: FPGA for safety logic or signal processing.

Integration & Testing:

• Support HIL/EIL setups and test-stand calibration.

• Work with mechanical/combustion teams to align FADEC with engine limits.

What were looking for

• Strong experience with FADEC or embedded engine control.

• Deep understanding of real-time control digital signal processing and sensor

• acquisition systems.

• Experience with DSP/ARM/FPGA-based embedded systems.

• Understanding of actuation systems (fuel ignition solenoids).

• Education: Masters in Electrical Engineering Electronics Control Systems or related

• discipline preferred.

Bonus: FPGA programming experience for signal processing or redundancy paths.

Why LAT

• Core team opportunity at a high-conviction deep-tech startup

• Build Indias next-generation GTEs - the kind that India has never seen before

• Work in an environment where hardware development moves fast ownership is high and engineering matters
